#104 Drastically modify, simplify and reduce the cost of your closed-cycle life support system and space habitat, present it as an emergency relief shelter for use by the Katrina displaced, and if it can help people, and gets some publicity, tell everyone, "See, this is what space science can do for you!"

Ask everyone who uses it to make comments and suggest improvements, and overnight you gain up to 1 milllion part-time in-field research assistants, which accelerates the design of the original space habitat.

Tell the government, "See, this is how you can advance science when you make the effort to help people!"
